Default RE: Pilot 1/4 Bellanca decathlon

I bought a96" wingspan partbuilt Pilot Decathlon recently and intend to fit a 26cc Zenoah. I have a similar sized Aeronca Champ, which I use as an occasional tug, and has a Chinese 40cc engine. This is over powered for normal flying, hence the Zenoah decision. Hope that there is enough grunt for this more aerobatic model - I will let you know.

There were no plans with the Decathlon and I am having trouble working out the intended method of securing the wing. I wondered if the aluminium tubes simply had a pin through them or whether there was a better method. Anyone know?
